Dearest Angelenos, we've had two different meetup threads that have ended in nothing--let's maybe salvage at least one of them! [more inside]

I'll be in LA between October 9 to 16 and I'd like to get together. I won't be free the 9th and 11th, but the other days up to the 15th are good.

I'm in LA working for a large sports league for the next two weeks, and I haven't met up in this city since E3 2005 (wow, three years already?). So, to keep me from dying of boredom, is anyone up for a meetup between Monday July 21st, and Friday August 1st? [more inside]

I know this is last-minute, but is anyone in the L.A. area interested in a Paddy Chayefsky double-bill meetup at the New Beverly Cinema? They're playing a brand-new print of "Network" followed by "The Hospital". [more inside]

It's about time for another LA meetup, wouldn't you say? [more inside]

So I'm reading this, and I'm thinking it makes a pretty good prelude to a Los Angeles Meetup. [more inside]

I'm visiting Portland, OR from July 21 to July 27, and it would be really groovy to meet up with some MeFites while I'm up there. Any takers? Suggestions on location and time welcome. Also, I'll be at the Grand Hallows Ball in Los Angeles on July 20, ready to get my grubby hands on my copy of Harry Potter and the Somethingsomethingwhatever. There's a good chance I'll be wearing a cape. Any LA peeps who'd like to join me would be good company.

Photographic proof that we L.A. Mefites do occasionally pile in our cars and drive long distances -- braving earthquakes, crossfire, and roving gangs of cosmetic surgeons -- in order to gather, drink, and shoutout.

May 18 at 7 pm at Guelaguetza
3014 W Olympic Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90006-2516
(213) 427-0608

Predictably, under the name "Matt". Barring unforeseen circumstances, I will be there

Now that E3 is one week away, I feel it's time to revisit the Los Angeles meetup. How about it, west coasties?
posted by Plutor on May 11, 2005 - 30 comments

Was there not talk of a meetup in LA to coincide with the E3 convention? What about it, folks?

LA Meet up!

Given the, er, considerable interest in the last Los Angeles meetup, we've decided to throw a post-Thanksgiving burger bash.

Eyeglasses encouraged.

Friday, November 26, 6 pm, at Irv's Burgers in West Hollywood , followed by cocktails at ">The Coronet Pub.

Hope to see you there - for more details, email's in the profile.

The L.A. MeetUp (unpopularly known as MeFiSoCalWenCom04) is coming: Not this weekend, but next weekend. I'm requesting "pre-registrations" so I can put together "swag bags" for those who attend. Still taking location suggestions. More details at MEAT.METALIFTER.COM Mis-spell it carefully.
And be warned... the Southern California MonkeyFilterites are coming...

For those of us who don't have the money to register at CES, how about MeFiSoCalWenCom2004, featuring the first promised opportunity to call Wendell an asshat in person!!! When: January. Where: Somewhere in L.A. Let's narrow it down...

There was previously discussion of having a MeFiLA gathering on February 15. Shall we make this happen?

The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face: How refreshing it was to see the pictures of the MetaFilter members who recently met for drinks in Los Angeles![Scroll down] Stevis, chacal and y6y6y6 all posted photographs of the group on this thread. It seems to me we're all becoming less anonymous and less cagey about revealing personal information about ourselves. Including real names, zipcodes and even professional details. Phone numbers are quite freely exchanged. Some of us have even started swapping CDs through the mail.

If this impression is correct, I'd like to hear others' opinions on what's changed and what it means. People here seem much more nonchalant about the possibility of being tracked down and checked out - by employers, actual or potential, for instance. Are we relaxing more or is it something else - say, a consequence of harder times or a reappraisal of basic(old-fashioned?) Internet anonymity and multiple-identity ideologies?

Has there ever/will there ever be a Los Angeles MeFi gathering? I did a search but all I found was this. Did anything happen there? Is there another thread about this I'm missing? I've been seeing the posts about the NY gathering and I'm jealous.
